Abouting the contributors…
Philip Barrett has self-published nine issues of his catch-all comic, Matter, to date. Other works include a ‘best-of’ collection The Human in Me (2010, Verbal Arts) and Where’s Larry (2012, O’Brien Press). Philip spends too much time thinking too much about making more comics more quickly. Rather than just making them.
